This formula calculates the length of a rectangle when you know its perimeter and circumradius. The circumradius is the radius of the circle that passes through all four vertices of the rectangle.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula derives from the relationship between a rectangle's dimensions, its perimeter, and the circumradius of its circumscribed circle.
Details: Calculating the length of a rectangle from its perimeter and circumradius is useful in geometry problems, architectural design, and various engineering applications where these specific parameters are known.
Tips: Enter the perimeter and circumradius values in meters. Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will compute the length of the rectangle.
Q1: What is the circumradius of a rectangle?
A: The circumradius is the radius of the circle that passes through all four vertices of the rectangle. For a rectangle, it's half the length of the diagonal.
Q2: Can this formula be used for squares?
A: Yes, since a square is a special type of rectangle, this formula works for squares as well.
Q3: What if I get an error message?
A: The error "square root of negative number" means the input values don't form a valid rectangle. Check your measurements.
Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically exact, assuming precise input values. Rounding may occur in the displayed result.
Q5: Can I use different units?
A: Yes, as long as you use consistent units for all inputs, the result will be in the same unit.
